One of comics’ greatest creators turns 67!

Retired artist George Perez — born 67 years ago on June 9, 1954 — had a long, storied career where he made his mark working on the biggest titles and with the biggest heroes from both DC and Marvel (let alone other publishers).

Typically, we do a 13 COVERS birthday tribute, rotating titles from year to year. This time, however, we’re going with 13 SPLASH PAGES from the first 13 issues of The New Teen Titans.

Why Titans? Because I recently started a re-read and my eyes kept popping out of my head from images I hadn’t seen in decades — not since the ’80s when NTT was at the top of my reading pile.

Now, not all of these are strictly splash pages. Some are two-page spreads and some have additional panels that enhance the narrative. But what they all have in common is larger than life, extraordinarily detailed illustrations guaranteed to blow your mind.

Oh, and while we’re at it, make sure you check out THE TOP 13 GEORGE PEREZ SERIES — RANKED. Click here.
